Are these good temps for corsair h50?

Hi. I just bought my corsair h50 yesterday and installed it, here are my temps. btw, stock thermal paste was only used.

1 fan, lowest: 45, highest: 60
2 fan(push pull) lowest was 40 highest: 57

are these good temps?

I bought last night a tuniq tx-3. I'm thinking of replacing the thermal compound.

is tuniq tx-3 the best thermal compound? if not, what is the best compound?

and also, how do you apply it on corsair h50? Thanks in advance.

Core i7 and Core 2 Temperature Guide. Just click on the link in my signature.

cpu: intel q6600 @ 3.0ghz

voltage: bios-1.35 cpuz:1.32

overclock to 3.0

air flow: haf 932
2 x 230mm intake side and front
h50 push pull intake from the rear 2x120mm
1 x 120mm and 1 x 120 mm exhaust top

ambient temp is 29 C

core temp is used

core temp goes 51 on highest, 38 lowest orthos 30 mins. ( because i have to leave the house.)

are these temps ok? and also, which is better program for testing, orthos or prime95

* used tuniq tx-3 on current temps.

Thanks!

thank you. i got an error on core 2, it said fatal error. something about 0.4 is expected. what is it about? is my rig stable?

i increased my vid to 1.37500. I don't know why cpu-z displays much lower temps but i think it is the vdroop thing? Can somebody explain what is this vdroop and how it will affect overclocking. and also, running prime 95 small fpu,i'm getting 59,59,56,56 temps. lowest are 43,40,37,36. i think it idles at around 43-45

are these temps ok?

john_antonio,

Vdroop is not a short and simple explantion. You couldn't Google it? OK, here ya go ... http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Vdroop

You could also try SEARCH ... you cant miss it ... top-dead-center on any page.

Also, you could've checked the Stickies, which I already suggested in my previous post, but OK, here ya go ...

Tcase = CPU temperature
Tjunction = Core temperature

From Intel's Processor Spec Finder - http://processorfinder.intel.com/d [...] Spec=SLACR

Q6600 G0:

Vcore Max 1.5
Tcase Max (CPU temperature) 71c
Tjunction (Core temperature) 76c

The value shown in Intel's Processor Spec Finder for the Thermal Specification is Tcase Max (CPU temperature), not Tjunction (Core temperature), which is a common misconception among many enthusists. Since Core temperature always runs 5c higher than CPU temperature at load, which is shown in the following Intel document - http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0709/0709.1861.pdf - just add 5c to the Thermal Specification to find the corresponding Core temperature.

... That's OK ... hopefully he'll get the point!

Well said!

What ... you've come to that conclusion just now? Besides, I like the work

I've bitten off all sorts of heads over the years ... lately, however, I've been preoccupied with biting off n00b heads, who are too lazy to read!
